Phillips CM8833-II monitor sound-Help Please?

[Merc]

I think that monitor is the same as the C= 1084S.  My first Amiga had a 1084S with it (whose didn't?) and the sound started cutting out after about 5 years.  We used to get the sound back by giving the side of the monitor a good whack, which probably is what contributed to the sound finally cutting out completely and permanently :-o.

Nowadays I'd suspect a broken solder joint inside and take a look at the connections for the speakers where they attach to the main board of the monitor...

Hope that helps!

If it's like my old 1084 (with the big square power button and flip down panel on the front) then the circuit board just floats in a channel moulded into the two halves of the case.  Just wiggle things a little bit (don't touch anything on the pcb to be safe!) and the back half of the case should come free.  The cable to the speakers as I remember is a little on the short side so you'll have to disconnect it to be able to lay the cover aside.

I think there is also a screw or two at the back of the cover, near the audio inputs, that needs to come out -- if you didn't take it out, it would want to pull the board out as you pull off the cover.
